STURGIS, KENTUCKY: '1000-lb Sisters' Season 5 star Tammy Slaton feels like a "burden" to her sister Amy Slaton. In the upcoming episode, we will see the sisters having an emotional talk.

In the preview clip, Tammy says to her sister, "That's why I was sorry for being a burden." Amy disagrees as she tears up in front of her sister saying, "You were never a burden."

She then says in a confessional, "She (Tammy) thinks that she was a burden. No." Amy adds doing all the favors for her sister because she loves her.

"I did it because I love you. And, I'll never give up on you," says Amy. She then turns the environment a bit light by saying, "You can murder somebody and I'll still take your side because you are my sister."

When asked by the producers whether she would really take Tammy's side if she murders anyone, Amy laughs and says, "Nah, probably not."

She adds, "That b***h murder somebody? Go to hell. I ain't gonna lie." She further joked, claiming that she would not even help bury the body of the person if Tammy murdered someone.
